do you know how they number the bears? 747 for life

The bear monitoring system is something i do not know too much about, as it primarily used by the rangers internally for collecting data about the bears. The rangers do a lot of monitoring of the bears at Brooks River, tracking their appearance as well as a wide range of behaviors, and how both of those things change over the years. This tracking system allows us to study so, so much more about the bears here than humans would normally be able to, and they do it all without tagging or physical tracking devices of any kind.

Anyways, more to your question -- Bears are given a 3 digit identification number when they are first identified as independent bears who frequent the brooks river area. Each bear identified this way in a given year has the same starting digit, though obviously since bears can sometimes live upwards of 30 years at Brooks River and they only have 10 digits (0-9) to work with, not every bear with the same starting digit was identified the same year. also, regarding bear id numbers starting with 0, most of the time the 0 is left off when rangers talk about the bears. 89 Backpack's number is technically 089, for example, but everyone just writes it as 89, so i have followed suit in this post and every other post.

litter mates often have numbers very close to one another, because they all become independent subadults the same year, and bears who were raised at Brooks River as cubs generally stay in the area once they are independent. i think the rangers try to keep bears that they believe to be related near each other in the monitoring system, but i don't have a specific source on that -- I'm just looking at examples like 912 and 913, and 428 and 429. Though, also, sometimes a bear doesn't show up the same year as their litter mates so they get separated in the numbering system. A good example is bear 99, who showed up a year later than 912 and 913, even though it is generally believed that the three of them are 39's 2016 litter.

Additionally, I want to be clear that not every bear that is first identified as independent in the same year is the same age. Not only do independent bears first begin frequenting brooks river at wildly different ages -- everything from newly emancipated subadults familiar with the area to fully-grown adults who suddenly appear one day -- but in addition, not all bears are emancipated at the same age, either. Cubs generally stay with their mother for 2-3 summers, but we have seen emancipation happen after just 1 summer and we have seen it happen after as many as 4 summers.

Also, when a monitored bear has not been seen for 10 years, then their number is recycled and added back into the pool of available numbers. as an example, there was a female bear numbered 720 who we last saw in 2006. so in 2016, her number was recycled, and was used for a new subadult female.

I hope this helps! for more information about the bear monitoring system, how it works, and what it's used for, i recommend checking out this live chat from 2019 about the topic!

The United Kingdom just been downgraded on the global index of civic freedoms due to it's "Hostile" and "Increasingly authoritarian" actions.

I live in the UK. And I found this out by factchecking a green peace ad. As of now this story was posted 16 hours ago and I've not heard one person talk about this.

Our government is officially recognised as repressing civic freedoms and undermining human rights. If you're still proud to be brittish then fuck you tory scum.

An unprecedented 1,200% escalation in online calls for violence against Israel, Zionists, and Jews in the chilling aftermath of the IDF Swords of Iron operation against Hamas was seen in a new report.

The statistics were collected between October 7-10, 2023, as highlighted by the 2nd Assessment Report released by the Antisemitism Cyber Monitoring System (ACMS).

This period saw 157,000 recorded antisemitic posts, indicating a 450% increase from the prior four days and Paris emerged as the epicenter of this online hate, closely followed by cities like New York and Buenos Aires.

Unmasking the digital hatred

Spanning from October 7-10, the ACMS painstakingly documented a concerning 157,000 posts exuding antisemitic sentiments.

These figures mark a 450% leap compared to the preceding four days (October 3-6) and a substantial 360% surge when juxtaposed with the identical period in September.

My hot take is that system littles wanting spaces where they can talk about not child safe things isn't because they aren't "really children", but because adults creating spaces for children become way too coddling and sanitized.

I am really my age and don't have emotional regulation or skill development of an adult. I also don't need to be handheld. Both camps are taking it to extremes and making it harder and I hate it.

friends to enemies is fine but friend group to enemies holds so much more potential for comedy. everyone is chill and still gets along fine. except for Todd who defected and is now our arch nemesis. yeah like he totally just went off on his own and founded a cult. barely changed his aesthetic too and now all he talks about is the corruption in the system and how we're free to join him when we've had enough of it ourselves.

I now have the type of job where I get a corporate credit card and a budget to spend, but there are only four categories in my expense reports:

Food (must be BUSINESS food).

Training (scrutinized, must have convincing reason why it's needed).

Office supplies (comes with a threatening warning that I CANNOT use this card for office supplies if I work for [different branch of the company]).

SUSPICIOUS MYSTERY CATEGORY covering all other expenses. Will be audited at least five times!!!

If you're wondering why your idiot boss can only give you the occasional pizza as a reward, well,
